When we were young

We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippin and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember when we were young Look back to the best of days Collecting all yesterdays As they build up one by one How we beg and we borrow Say we'll do it tomorrow But tomorrow never seems to come We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Fying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember when we were young When we were boys on the beach Everything was in reach I know it's hard to remember But oh how the years they vanish I always wanted to learn Spanish And travel round South-America We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember when we were young

Oh... One, two, three, four We're separated by a margin of a greater degree The same flesh and blood, but in a different lane I've read the remedy too But my words, they still sounded the same When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun (oh) We flew into the sun I'm dedicated to the shadow that's been following me It caught me counting the cards, I guess the rules remain Oh, it was heavenly then But the devils were calling my name When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" (oh) Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out We flew into the sun We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun

Everybody loves the things you do From the way you talk to the way you move Everybody here is watching you 'Cause you feel like home You're like a dream come true But if by chance you're here alone Can I have a moment before I go? 'Cause I've been by myself all night long Hoping you're someone I used to know You look like a movie You sound like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song I was so scared to face my fears Nobody told me that you'd be here And I swear you moved overseas That's what you said, when you left me You still look like a movie You still sound like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young It's hard to admit that Everything just takes me back To when you were there To when you were there And a part of me keeps holding on Just in case it hasn't gone I guess I still care Do you still care? It was just like a movie It was just like a song My God, this reminds me Of when we were young When we were young Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old It makes me reckless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young
